Reviews of Zuri Zanzibar

"A bit disappointed with Zuri.

We arrived on a Saturday and it was a full moon party on the neighbouring beach – it kept us awake until 4am which wasn’t great. It wasn’t just a bit of background noise it was loud. There was a constant background noise as it is located next to a party beach (normally finished at c. 10.30 pm) and the jet ski’s go back and forth past the beach.

The hotel itself is well designed and appointed (the pool is ace) but the laid back, peaceful vibe it is pushing is at odds with the neighbours.

The room we had was dark as it is set in the jungle bit which I personally didn’t like and it was a buffet dinner which I wasn’t a fan of." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"We were immediately relaxed here. The staff were kind and friendly. The accommodation was private and offered everything we could have needed. The resort was beautiful and cleverly put together to give a peaceful aura.

The beach, although private, did have its fair share of locals selling their wares. However this wasn't too overbearing for those wishing to get some peace and quiet.

A good selection of bars and restaurants." See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"Lovely hotel with individual villas secreted within the landscape, where monkeys roam

Only a couple of restaurants to choose from in the evening, but the buffet was very good with a freshly cooked counter, serving a variety of fish and meat

Very attentive Hotel manager" See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya; 7n in Zanzibar

"Wow! What a hotel! From the spice garden to the beach barbecue, to the different restaurants and the spa treatment, we loved our stay at The Zuri, it never once felt crowded, the rooms are so private and secluded due to the expanse of vegetation that we felt like we could have been on our own desert island.

We had a room with a separate hot tub. Which although we appreciated, took us a while to find a temperature that we could actually sit in for any length of time. We loved the outdoor shower and the shaded deck with hammock.

The design of the room was beautiful, it had lovely details with beaded screens and beads falling over the mirrors, the bed had a wonderful AC system which meant you were guaranteed a good nights sleep, and the TV had a piece of artwork over it, that slid back, all credit to the designer. The finishing touches by the housekeeping team were also incredibly considerate, with them providing bug spray and mosquito burner etc.

We went half board which was perfect as you could eat enough at breakfast to see you through for a week! The staff were all so friendly and really made our trip special." See all these reviews: 7n in Zanzibar; 5n in Tanzania

"Zuri was really fantastic. We loved our 'house' which had a large terrace and view of the sea. As we were on our honeymoon, we were treated to complimentary sunset drinks, a delicious lunch on the private beach and spa vouchers. The service was really personal and very attentive.

The resort is really spacious but is has a boutique feel so it never felt very busy or crowded. Everyday we found great sunbeds on the beach and there is an amazing drinks/food service to your bed. The DJ on the beach in the evenings was also amazing. Overall a really fantastic place to relax.

Both restaurants were excellent and we also enjoyed the different bars." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"I did not like this place. The gardens are truly gorgeous and the room was pretty but not my style.

Food was mediocre. Pool was just OK. I wonder if this is what it’s like to be on a Carnival Cruise, lol. Reminded me of a Shanghai La property.

Beautiful first impression but an exercise in overpriced mediocrity." See all these reviews: 21n in Tanzania; 7n in Zanzibar

"Amazing Hotel located in the north of the island. Each hotel room is surrounded by amazing plantation which means they are all very private and not overlooked by anyone. The rooms interior is very luxurious with an amazing outdoor shower. The beach front is incredible especially at sunset with the perfect view, they have a regular DJ playing and great cocktails, its the perfect way to end the day. The Staff are so welcoming and friendly and will always go above and beyond to make sure everything is OK with your stay. The food at all restaurants were great, with lots of variation and cuisines you are never short of something amazing to eat. Perfect way to end our honeymoon and would highly recommend to anyone on the same sort of trip." See all these reviews: 7n in Zanzibar; 5n in Tanzania
